He Never Strays Far
London to Paris
Paris to Rome:
He never strays
far from his dear
country home,
where a kind
soul is waiting;
truth shines in
her eye, and the
green dales are
calling 'neath a
pink evening sky.
He never strays
far if springtime
is nigh ~ and
early tomorrow
back home he
must fly, to a
happier life in the
sweet by-and-by.

A cat has nine lives; for three he plays, for three he strays, and for the last three he stays.
Drilling Holes
(HogarthKellyMosleyRotheryTrewavas)
A man came to drill holes in the afternoon
And by the evening
Most of the afternoon had gone
I seem to have slept through the morning
But in the afternoon
A morning is yet to come
A girl came to help out in the kitchen
And by the evening
We found we were all washed up
We ate on the lawn
With the insects
We burned incense
Most of the band turned up
It was just one of those days
When the mind strays
One of those days
When everyone plays
One of those days
When everyone stays
And all of the dreaming goes on
A woman arrived in a panic
With a picnic
Better to give than receive
A man came to pick holes in the logic
He wore plastic
And shoes you would hardly believe
The evening arrived
Slightly early like a pygmy
Chewing the wrong kind of leaves
We ordered extra tea
Listened to XTC
Under a shady tree
Went back to bed at three
It was cool
As can be
(two sugars for me..)
It was just one of those days
When the mind strays
When everyone plays
One of those days
When everyone stays
And all of the dreaming goes on
One of THOSE days.

Imagine
Ease your mind for an instant and let us think
Change is too late only when you’re extinct
Imagine yourself not having one possession
Or strays putting little kids in processions
No politics worked for partisan misgivings
Imagine tolerance and care without a religion
The world’s a wondrous mess despite what’s left
And although I feel the same, John said it best
-You may say I’m a dreamer; well I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world can be as one
Imagine the hunger made by the greed
Ceases to exist and no poverty
No countries or leaders destroyed for position
We all sympathize with our human condition
The days can’t be held from passing us by
Nor the sadness inherent in our aging eyes
Imagine a world where we can all feel blessed
And breathe a sigh of relief with one calm breath
Imagine

As Long As You're Happy
Today i met a lonely girl
with a touch of magic
i've been waiting for someone like her
I'm so happy
She let's me know of her love
i give her all of mine
My Angel sent from above
i tell her all the time cause i'm so happy
Now what was once 2 lonely souls
tonight we sleep, arms in arms
i found someone to love and hold
i wonder if she's happy
Love is here, just in time
my dark world has begun to shine
wherever i go, i want her near
cause she's what makes me happy
How long will this love last?
still can't believe she's mine
So attractive with a past so tragic
i'll do anything for her just as long as she's happy
She seems to hold and kiss me less
i feel so cold, her lips are blessed
i hope she never strays from me
she's what keeps me happy
She wants to free, it's in her eyes
Away from me, let her decide
an eclipse is what she sees in mine
cause love has made me happy
Then came the day, i lost my heart
she's gone away, forever we part
I find myself back in the dark
where nobody can be happy
I would hold you in my arms
No other hand in my palms
i thought the love of ours would last
she wants me to be happy
Forget about me
life has been tragic
im'a wait in the rain for you
just to see you happy
I'm stuck in a world where demons grab me
They stab me
...but im'a wait in the rain for you
As long as you're happy
Experience has taught me, when I am shaving of a morning, to keep watch over my thoughts, because, if a line of poetry strays into my memory, my skin bristles so that the razor ceases to act.

Tongue wags
A bad deed mars ten good deeds done.
A hard word kills a hundred kind words
The tongue strays, uncontrollable,
And make you most miserable.

Never Question Why
Sometimes we think we failed
when a second love strays.
We ask ourselves
what we did wrong.
Why is this happening to me?
There is not always an answer
to the questions we ask.
We can only run with the flow
and hope we aren’t sucked under
by the undertow.
Some things just have a course in time
from beginning until the end.
We must follow its lead
and never question why.

Cold Snow Fall
The snow fall this year will be cold.
How will the homeless surive;
living on your doorstep,
or in your garden?
They will trudge through the snow,
their feet getting wet.
Their hands getting frostbite.
Their lips turning blue.
The snow fall this year will be cold.
Whining for food at your door.
Limping and shivering from the cold.
Why should they be treated like this?
The strays will try to do what they can to surive;
eating leftovers,
scrounging on the bins,
being swept away with a broom.
The snow fall this year will be cold.
You'll be at home,
getting warm by the fire,
opening gifts.
Your door is shut,
the curtains are drawn.
You have no clue what is going on outside,
in the cold cruel world.

Everything Else Is Lie!
All our dreams oneday will fade away and fly
And the hearts within us
Strays away and cries
When the dreams are gone
Soul inside us dies
Love words so soon become lies
When the love is gone all heart desires fly
Friends turn strangers,
While we ask whys and cry
People respect your money
And everything else is lie.

When All Things Fade To Black
Always with me
Never strays
But better seen
On bright sunny days
Always underfoot
But never in my way
And even when I step on it
It has nothing bad to say
Always used to run from it
But it was far to fast for that
Always seemed to know where I was going
Always knew where I was at
Always been a part of me
A part of me since day one
And likes to stride ahead of me
When I’m backlit by the sun
Always know the day is coming
When all things fade to black
That day…finally, it’ll walk away from me
And never even look back

Stop Telling Me Its Ok
I get out the military and I feel great
Until I cant find employment for goodness sake
Everybody knows I would be a good employee
But those are only my friends and family
Whats wrong with the people who see my resume
Maybe the are afraid of what to say
Could it be my combat which strays them away
Or maybe cause im tall and strong
Thats makes them say another day
I really dont know what it is
Really Give Me A Shot.....

To Daisies
Ah, drops of gold in whitening flame
Burning, we know your lovely name -
Daisies, that little children pull!
Like all weak things, over the strong
Ye do not know your power for wrong,
And much abuse your feebleness.
Daisies, that little children pull,
As ye are weak, be merciful!
O hide your eyes! they are to me
Beautiful insupportably.
Or be but conscious ye are fair,
And I your loveliness could bear,
But, being fair so without art,
Ye vex the silted memories of my heart!
As a pale ghost yearning strays
With sundered gaze,
'Mid corporal presences that are
To it impalpable - such a bar
Sets you more distant than the morning-star.
Such wonder is on you, and amaze,
I look and marvel if I be
Indeed the phantom, or are ye?
The light is on your innocence
Which fell from me.
The fields ye still inhabit whence
My world-acquainted treading strays,
The country where I did commence;
And though ye shine to me so near,
So close to gross and visible sense, -
Between us lies impassable year on year.
To other time and far-off place
Belongs your beauty: silent thus,
Though to other naught you tell,
To me your ranks are rumorous
Of an ancient miracle.
Vain does my touch your petals graze,
I touch you not; and though ye blossom here,
Your roots are fast in alienated days.
Ye there are anchored, while Time's stream
Has swept me past them: your white ways
And infantile delights do seem
To look in on me like a face,
Dead and sweet, come back through dream,
With tears, because for old embrace
It has no arms.
These hands did toy,
Children, with you, when I was child,
And in each other's eyes we smiled:
Not yours, not yours the grievous-fair
Apparelling
With which you wet mine eyes; you wear,
Ah me, the garment of the grace
I wove you when I was a boy;
O mine, and not the year's your stolen Spring!
And since ye wear it,
Hide your sweet selves! I cannot bear it.
For when ye break the cloven earth
With your young laughter and endearment,
No blossomy carillon 'tis of mirth
To me; I see my slaughtered joy
Bursting its cerement.

Regret Or Champagne
No time is better,
Than the time right now we are in.
Any thought that strays
From a negative place yesterday...
Why do you insist,
Inviting it to make visits to sit?
You know it's going to accept...
Since a positive attitude you seem to reject,
Without regret or champagne to offer.
You go right ahead and whine!
Pass me that bottle...
I have a toast to make.

Im In The World
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Im in the world
Im in the world
Im in the world
I must be part of it
At last convinced
To the right of it
Im in the world
For some reason or another
Sometimes I get up
And sometimes I dont bother
But Im here
Im here for, oh lord, who knows?
My light gets dim
Then it glows, ooh yeah
Im in the world
Im in the world
Im in the world
And being what it is
Ive learnt to look
To look beyond the tears
Im in the world
Though hearts dont break even
Ill take my chances
cause it aint about leaving
Im here
Im here and I wont apologize
Maybe at the end therell be a surprise
Oh, yeah
cause Im in the world
Good or bad
Im in the world
Yes, Im here
Im in the world
Im here, Im here
Im in the world
Im in the world
Im here
Im in the world
Oh, yes, oh, yes
Im in the world
Good or bad
Im here in the world

Let Erin Remember the Days of Old
Let Erin remember the days of old,
Ere her faithless sons betray'd her;
When Malachi wore the collar of gold,
Which he won from her proud invader,
When her kings, with standard of green unfurl'd,
Led the Red-Branch Knights to danger!
Ere the emerald gem of the western world
Was set in the crown of a stranger.
On Lough Neagh's bank as the fisherman strays,
When the clear cold eve's declining,
He sees the round towers of other days
In the wave beneath him shining:
Thus shall memory often, in dreams sublime,
Catch a glimpse of the days that are over;
Thus, sighing, look through the waves of time,
For the long-faded glories they cover.

To Love Is To Be Home!
How hard is to know
When we are in love
From soul to soul
Through vein to vein
Our love strays
Till blood cells
melts there
There where you and I first met
While we are in love
Yet we know they can't chain
Our love and pain,
For me the both are the same
The love and the pain
Tell me my beloved
That you will stay the same,
Near me or alone
Stay in my home,
For me to love is to have a safety home
Love me more and more
Till the end of the world,
Love me as I am,
Because I know that I do
I do love every single thing in you,
With you I breath,
I know how your heart beat,
When the spirits meet
The breath melts the breath,
Glances begin to speak..
For a while and while
just you and I
We Forget who or what.
We lose ourselves
Among the
distance Of time
We begin to swing
In the air we both get golden wings
When no one else is there
We forget to think
Just the moment we live
What is happening around
No one of us ever feel
Just when we are in love.
There we don't fear
Because we both do believe
What to love is? (To be home)
